distance bgp

Sets the administrative distance for BGP routes.

Syntax
distance bgp external-distance internal-distance local-distance
Parameters
  • external-distance—Enter a number to assign to routes learned from a neighbor external to the AS, from 1 to 255.
  • internal-distance—Enter a number to assign to routes learned from a router within the AS, from 1 to 255.
  • local-distance—Enter a number to assign to routes learned from networks listed in the network command, from 1 to 255.
Defaults
  • external-distance—20
  • internal-distance—200
  • local-distance—200
Command Modes
  • CONFIG-ROUTER-BGP-ADDRESS-FAMILY
  • CONFIG-ROUTER-BGP-VRF-ADDRESS-FAMILY
Usage Information
This command is used to configure administrative distance for eBGP route, iBGP route, and local BGP route. Administrative distance indicates the reliability of the route; the lower the administrative distance, the more reliable the route is. Routes that are assigned an administrative distance of 255 are not installed in the routing table. Routes from confederations are treated as iBGP routes.
